Challenge
Sir Robert Mc
Alpine (SRM), a leading UK building and civil engineering company, were looking to migrate away
from their ageing IBM Notes based messaging system to a unified solution that would:
• Oﬀer a messaging system to support a site-resilient model.
• Provide easier access to mail for remote users.
• Allow for an improved mobile-mail solution.
• Remove maintenance of messaging system away from Sir Robert Mc
Alpine to a cloud-based solution.
SRM attended one of Polymorph’s successful IBM Domino / Notes to Oﬀice 365 migration seminars, held in
conjunction with our partners Microsoft, in their Reading oﬀices. The seminar highlighted how Polymorph had the
required experience, skills and knowledge in both IBM Domino / Notes and Microsoft Oﬀice 365 and were
subsequently chosen as the team to migrate SRM’s email infrastructure from IBM Domino / Notes to Oﬀice 365.
Solution
SRM’s complex and largely distributed IBM Domino / Notes network included 25 email domains and around 18
Domino / Notes database and email servers which had heavily customised email templates, to manage
information relating to specific projects.
Polymorph were asked to:
• Provisioning an O365 tenant and configuring for messaging.
• Develop and build co-existence from IBM Domino / Notes to Oﬀice 365 and provide a solution that would work
alongside SRM’s existing environment.
• Migrate mail and calendars from a Domino environment to Oﬀice 365 environment.
Co-existence was set up three times – development, user acceptance testing and production, showing that
Polymorph were adaptable and able to build co-existence that could handle SRM’s specific needs.
Result
Polymorph implemented a strategy for SRM to migrate 1,500+ users for their extremely complex IBM Domino /
Notes domain to Microsoft Oﬀice 365. We completed a successful email migration and created an eﬀective
co-existence phase, allowing SRM to continue with their migration process of their remaining Notes users
eﬀiciently whilst preserving a quality mail experience for all.
